Ubuntu, a free Linux-based operating system, gives users the flexibility to interact directly with the operating system using Terminal. DMG files are the disc image files most commonly used with the Mac operating system, while ISO files are the most common disc image files used in Linux and Windows. DMG files cannot be read in Ubuntu, but they can be converted into ISO files using Terminal and the bundled disc burning utility Brasero.
